Yeah, I broke in, trashed the place and hauled off the stuff. The cop who arrested me was a city cop and I was convicted by a city judge and jury. But I can prove that house was outside the city limits! I should be a free man! Johan Bruyneel saying that USADA had no jurisdiction over him as a Belgian.

Yeah, yeah. We hear you. Keep it up and I will have to get my earplugs.

CK, using the power of law to extract large sums of money, threatening people with bodily harm and wrecking careers is going a real step beyond using and pushing drugs. LA feeling thre's a vendetta against him? People going after large sums of his money and wrecking his career? LA, see "karma".

Ben

Edit: not defending "only" 10 and 8 years. I'd be happy to see a lot more, even life, just saying LA doesn't have ground to stand on here.

I don't disagree ben, but being a bully and a douchebag don't fall under USADA's supervision. The fact that he sued others (and won) has nothing to do with the case that USADA brought against him. The fact that he used his podiums as a bully pulpit to brow beat people into submission also isn't governed by USADA.

Everything that -7 was found guilty of, Bruyneel and the others were too. And if you really wanna clean up the sport, hitting the managers and team doctors with huge suspensions would be a good place to start.

I'm not saying -7 shouldn't have had a lifetime ban.....I am perfectly OK with that. But watch him spin this into something that makes public opinion start to sway back in his direction.

I'm not saying he is right.....I'm simply talking about how it is likely to play out. Hell, you can even hear people now (led by the charge of our old friends over at VN) pointing out how LL, GH, TD et al got lighter sentences and wondering why -7 got a lifetime ban.

Watch for the -7 Redemption Tour 2014 to hit full steam shortly.

Exactly.. I knew you weren't making the case for him, only pointing out how he will spin it
